It was a higher-mileage unit with just an HD2 shift kit. I paid $400 bucks for it. It was good while it lasted and I'm sure a built 60e would have fared much worse. It's really just the WOT shifts that are noticeably slipping. I'm sure a built 80e would be nearly invincible.

Was yours built, and how long did it survive?
They are... but they have wear parts inside them

It lasted 8000 miles before it started slipping at WOT and it had roughly 120k miles on it before I put it in. Still shifts great at part throttle and will last till I get something else.

Is it for a 4x4? I'm 90% sure his truck is a 4x4, and so is mine....(if he's not interested)
